"...Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from the stairhead, bearing a bowl of lather on which a mirror and a razor lay crossed. A yellow dressinggown, ungirdled, was sustained gently behind him on the mild morning air. He held the bowl aloft and intoned:Introibo ad altare Dei.Halted, he peered down the dark winding stairs and called out coarsely:Come up, Kinch! Come up, you fearful jesuit!Solemnly he came forward and mounted the round gunrest. He faced about and blessed gravely thrice the tower, the surrounding land and the awaking mountains. Then, catching sight of Stephen Dedalus, he bent towards him and made rapid crosses in the air, gurgling in his throat and shaking his head. Stephen Dedalus, displeased and sleepy, leaned his arms on the top of the staircase and looked coldly at the shaking gurgling face that blessed him, equine in its length, and at the light untonsured hair, grained and hued like pale oak..."

Lean out of the window,Goldenhair,I hear you singingA merry air.My book was closed,I read no more,Watching the fire danceOn the floor.I have left my book,I have left my room,For I heard you singingThrough the gloom.Singing and singingA merry air,Lean out of the window,Goldenhair.

THERE was no hope for him this time: it was the third stroke. Night after night I had passed the house (it was vacation time) and studied the lighted square of window: and night after night I had found it lighted in the same way, faintly and evenly. If he was dead, I thought, I would see the reflection of candles on the darkened blind for I knew that two candles must be set at the head of a corpse. He had often said to me: "I am not long for this world," and I had thought his words idle. Now I knew they were true.

James Joyces final and experimental novel "Finnegans Wake" is considered a revolutionary masterpiece. First published in 1939, this comic novel is a classic of modern Irish literature. Written over the course of nearly two decades, Joyce attempted to create a nocturnal, dreamlike state. The dreams relive major conflicts from both history and mythology. "Finnegans Wake" is considered one of the most difficult works of fiction written in English."Finnegans Wake" is a complex novel that blends the reality of life with a dream world. The motive idea of the novel, inspired by the 18th-century Italian philosopher Giambattista Vico, is that history is cyclical. To demonstrate this, the book ends with the first half of the first sentence of the novel. Thus, the last line is actually part of the first line, and the first line a part of the last line. The plot itself is difficult to follow, as the novel explores a number of fractured story lines. The main tension, however, comes from the juxtaposition of reality and dream, which is achieved through changing characters and settings. During the day, Mr. and Mrs. Porter live above their pub in Chapelizod, a suburb of Dublin. They live a normal, boring life. They are the parents of twin boys named Kevin and Jerry. They also have a daughter named Isabel, nicknamed Issy.The characters names and the setting change when Mr. and Mrs. Porter enter their dreamworld. Their fantastical dream life sharply contrasts with their banal daytime existence. The land of dreams starts in the upstairs bedroom of Mr. and Mrs. Porters home in Chapelizod.In the dreams, the family becomes the Earwicker family and takes on many different names...

First published in 1916, "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" is James Joyces first novel and a milestone of modern literary history. It is the origin of many of the post-modern techniques he refined in later works such as "Finnegans Wake" and "Ulysses".The novel describes the emotional and mental development of the main protagonist, Stephen Dedalus, from childhood to independent artist. Stephen grows up in the deeply nationalistic and religious culture of Ireland. During his time at Jesuit schools and university, he struggles to find his own identity and break free of the culture of his childhood. He eventually leaves the church, university, his parents and his country in order to find his true self.The novel is strongly autobiographical, Stephens development and experiences are, to a large extent, similar to Joyces own. On the other hand, the style develops in line with the character. While, initially, the language is childish and naive, it changes to increasingly academic and intellectual the older Stephen gets.

Com o romance Ulisses, James Joyce mudou totalmente os rumos do romance moderno ao transformar Dublin, sua cidade natal, em personagem. O enredo se passa num único dia de junho de 1904, em que o leitor passa a vivenciar por meio de figuras como Leopold Bloom, Stephen Dedalus e Molly Bloom, um turbilho de emoçes que revelam o mundo. Esse que e o mais importante romance de James Joyce, teve origem num conto do livro Dublinenses desdobrado em paralelo com a Odisseia de Homero. Uma epopeia planetaria que influenciou de maneira definitiva e crescente toda a literatura moderna. Esta traduço brasileira de Ulisses, primorosamente realizada pela professora Bernardina da Silveira Pinheiro ao longo de sete anos de trabalho, restitui o grande feito literario do seculo XX a quem de direito: o leitor. Com o mesmo registro coloquial do ingles usado por Joyce, mas sem abrir mo da riqueza linguistica que o consagrou, a linguagem empregada nesta ediço privilegia uma dimenso mais humana da obra-prima de Joyce, tornando-a mais acessivel ao publico.

First published in 1914, Dubliners depicts middle-class Catholic life in Dublin at the start of the twentieth century. Themes within the stories include the disappointments of childhood, the frustrations of adolescence, and the importance of sexual awakening. Joyce was twenty-five years old when he wrote this collection of short stories, among which 'The Dead' is probably the most famous. Considered at the time as a literary experiment, Dubliners contains moments of joy, fear, grief, love and loss, which combine to form one of the most complete depictions of a city ever written, and the stories remain as refreshingly original and surprising in this century as they did in the last. With an afterword by Peter Harness. Designed to appeal to the booklover, Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautifully bound hardback gift editions of much loved classic titles. Bound in real cloth, printed on high quality paper, and featuring ribbon markers and gilt edges, Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure.

Obliquely autobiographical, ''A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man'' relates Stephen Dedalus''s emotional and intellectual journey into adulthood, as he struggles to unshackle himself from religion, politics, and the smothering conventions of Irish society. Experimental and innovative in style, pioneering the stream-of-consciousness technique narrative form, Joyce''s debut novel expertly encapsulates the development of individual consciousness and the role of the artist in society. The perfectintroduction to the genius of Joyce, ''A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man'' is an early example of some of the author''s famous narrative characteristics that would later be represented in a more developed manner in ''Ulysses'' and ''Finnegans Wake''.

The first, shortest, and most approachable of James Joyce's novels, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man portrays the Dublin upbringing of Stephen Dedalus, from his youthful days at Clongowes Wood College to his radical questioning of all convention. In doing so, it provides an oblique self-portrait of the young Joyce himself. At its center lie questions of origin and source, authority and authorship, and the relationship of an artist to his family, culture, and race. Exuberantly inventive in style, the novel subtly and beautifully orchestrates the patterns of quotation and repetition instrumental in its hero's quest to create his own character, his own language, life, and art: "to forge in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race." This Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition, published for the novel's centennial, is the definitive text, authorized by the Joyce estate and collated from all known proofs, manuscripts, and impressions to reflect the author's original wishes.
